from coronavirus pandemic
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that Collin
County, Texas, has successfully gone live with the Tyler Jury
Manager™ solution. Collin County recently used the comprehensive
jury management system to successfully hold its first two in-person
grand jury selections, as well as its first virtual jury trial in
March 2021.
Collin County’s previous jury management solution was
antiquated, and the workload required to manage it was becoming
overwhelming for such a fast-growing county. The county needed a
quick and efficient system for the district clerk’s jury staff to
satisfy the jury needs of the 25 courts they serve. As the request
for jurors began to exceed the maximum capacity of Collin County’s
central jury room of 600 people, a change became paramount. As a
long-time user of other Tyler solutions, the district clerk turned
to Tyler for its jury management expertise to find solutions to
minimize the cost of an infrastructure expansion that would
ultimately fall to the taxpayers to fund.
“We were excited to work with Tyler again to implement a
comprehensive, but still user friendly, jury management system,”
said Lynne Finley, Collin County District Clerk. “The system
streamlines the jury selection process substantially and allows us
to provide a better experience for jurors. It also helps us to
better share information among court staff, making sure we are
always up-do-date on case information.”
Tyler Jury Manager enables Collin County to simplify the entire
jury selection process. The county can contact jurors via email or
text message and remind them of their upcoming jury duty. Staff can
easily alert them of any changes in status, such as weather
cancellations or changes due to COVID-19 safety protocols. And, if
a juror gets dismissed early, a real-time text notification can let
the juror know before they even make the trip to the courtroom. For
court staff, the solution allows them to see exemptions or
restrictions for a potential juror well in advance. With additional
information provided up front, there is less paperwork to be filled
out the day of jury duty service.
Additionally, the implementation of Tyler Jury Manager allows
Collin County to manage all parts of the jury operation in one
platform, including
- Tracking, organizing, and managing caseloads
- Easily sharing information with justice partners like
prosecutors and public defenders
- Automating courtroom tasks and organizing the high volume of
information from multiple sources
- Ability to have secure access to critical case information from
the judge’s bench
“Collin County has always been an innovator in how they use
technology to improve their operations, so it’s no surprise they
would take the same approach for jury management,” said Scott Kerr,
general manager of Tyler Jury Manager. “We are pleased to implement
Tyler Jury Manager to help the county move forward with virtual and
in-person jury trials. For such a rapidly growing county, this
solution will manage everything related to jury operations and
bring many efficiencies to the clerk and other staff.”
Collin County is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and
is the seventh most-populous county in Texas with a population of 1
million. The county also uses several Tyler products, including its
civic services, civil processing, online dispute resolution,
enterprise resource planning, and case management solutions.
